Motorhome service density is low and island logistics dominate, so each leg needs water, waste, fuel, ferry and overnight checks.
Camper Rules Assistant
Build a country route and get compact allowed/do-not-assume/check cards for overnight rules, LEZ, tolls, documents and winter requirements.
Indonesia
Indonesia motorhome travel is an advanced logistics exercise: island ferries, customs Vehicle Declaration or carnet handling, BPJT toll categories, national-park permits, urban access, monsoon risk and volcanic or remote-area disruption must be planned together.
Use campsites, guesthouses with secure parking, private permission, national-park facilities or authorised tourism sites instead of assuming wild camping is allowed.
Toll roads are route and class based, while ferries, parking, park permits and marine-park tickets can add separate costs. Jakarta, Bali, old towns, mountain roads and protected areas need access and parking checks before routing a large camper in.
Australia
Australia is a state-by-state campervan country: national parks, state forests, councils and private campgrounds each set access, booking and fire rules.
Book national-park and state-park sites before arrival where required, and match the site to your campervan, caravan or trailer.
Do not assume free camping is legal just because a place is remote. Check state, council, national-park and land-manager rules.
Australia has city toll roads, park entry fees, camping permits and ferries rather than a single national vignette. Australia does not use a national low-emission sticker for touring campervans, but city tolls, height limits and local parking restrictions are common.

- Beaches, temples, villages, plantations and protected landscapes can have local adat, religious, security or conservation rules.
- Ask before setting out awnings, chairs, cooking gear or generators outside a formal campsite.

Do not assume free camping is legal just because a place is remote. Check state, council, national-park and land-manager rules.
- In many national parks, camping and overnight stays are restricted to designated areas or booked sites.
- Some state forests allow dispersed or low-service camping, but fire, vehicle and length-of-stay rules still apply.
